Virtual PBX Rolls Out Solution for iPhones, Android Devices and PCs
These days, small business owners need to answer the phone when it rings—no matter where they are when it rings.
They key is to balance staying in touch with high roaming costs and business-grade quality. What’s more, dialing out from your smartphone shows your personal phone number rather than the corporate number, in many instances, and customers could get confused as to which number to call back.
Virtual PBX is aiming to solve all those issues with the latest enhancement to Virtual PBX Complete. Dubbed VoIP Anywhere, the new service lets small business owners use their smartphones and computers as VoIP handsets with business phone capabilities. That means you can use VoIP to reduce or eliminate roaming charges from anywhere in the world—and outbound calls use your corporate caller ID info.
“Our launch of Virtual PBX Complete has generated tremendous demand from our customers. As they embrace our system, they are increasingly seeking the freedom to access their VoIP business features on any device, wherever they are,” says Greg Brashier, COO of Virtual PBX. “By introducing Virtual PBX Complete with VoIP Anywhere, we are delivering that freedom and flexibility to carry their business extension anywhere in the world.”
Clients travelling internationally, for example, often can access Wi-Fi from their branch offices or hotels. By using their smart phones as VoIP phones, they can receive business calls with no roaming charges and get a U.S. dial tone to make outbound calls. That equals huge savings over international dialing rates.
As with any Virtual PBX-branded solution, you can access VoIP Anywhere capabilities using any standard softphone, such as those available for Android phones, iPhones and computers. VoIP Anywhere also allows these devices to appear as VoIP extensions in the Virtual PBX system, so calls to and from the softphone have full access to all system features, such as business caller ID for outbound calls, call recording, call transfers, presence management and reporting.
